? PRINCE ARIS ?
After over hearing hangar talking about my twin brother who he claims is still alive,I dashed out of the drum and went grabbed his shirt….
Tell me hangar,I don’t want to do something stupid to you right now..tell me ,is it true that my brother is still alive?? And if yes… where is he in this palace..show him to me now” I said angrily as he began to shiver”
My prince,my prince you’re hurting me..you didn’t hear me well,I don’t know what you’re talking about ” he said as I punched him hard on the face”
You fool,you dare call the prince a deaf?? Do you want me to send you to prison or report you to my father,now for the very last time…who is my brother…tell me now” I said almost in tears”
My prince..this is so difficult to speak.. please let’s just keep it a secret,you can’t tell your father that your brother is still alive, he’s the eldest and he might end up taking the throne ” he said as I punched him harder again”
How dare you say such things to my face,do you know how long I’ve wished he was alive?do you know how sad it is to hear that my very twin brother was sacrificed to the gods? Lastly..do you know how long I’ve been waiting to find someone who will marry maria? Listen carefully ..show my brother to me now before I plugged all your eyes ” I said angrily pushing him out with my sword”
Move it…” I pushed him harder”
” We arrived outside and saw mother landing maria a slap,as soon as everyone saw me they began to whisper to themselves”
Mother, what’s the problem..why did you slap Maria ” I asked holding hangar with my right hand as mother and father were shocked to see me coming out of my banquet”
Son… wait a sec.. have you been inside your banquet all this while??” Mum asked surprisingly”
Yes mother ” I responded as father came to me and landed me a slap, hangar thought he could use the opportunity to escape but didn’t know I was going to return the slap father gave me to him ”
” I landed hangar a hot slap with my hand on my cheek,oh no, father’s hand really hurts ”
So you mean you’ve been inside making us to look for you like crazy people?? Aris what do I have to do so you can start respecting my orders” father asked angrily ”
But father, even before today you all know I don’t want to marry the snake girl.. I’m in love with someone else” I said aloud to the hearings of everyone ”
You’re in love with Fanny isn’t it, what’s so new about you” father said angrily as I cut in saying ”
No , you’re wrong father, I’m no more in love with Fanny but Sharia” I said aloud as everyone looked at me surprisingly ”
Sharia??” MARIA said surprisingly ”
You mean your maid??” Mother asked surprisingly as father kept looking at me with his mouth open,I think he must be preparing to give me another slap, hangar get ready to get more slaps ”
You don’t mean it my prince,you can’t marry Sharia” Maria said as father shouted at her angrily saying”
Shut that thing you call a mouth before I sentence you to death for lying to me” father said angrily getting me surprised”
Father, mother what’s happening ” I asked surprisingly”
This girl here is not the snake girl,she has been deceiving us” father said angrily as I couldn’t believe what my ears were hearing”
” I didn’t know the gods loved me this much,how can there be taking my sorrows away in just a sec,I love you gods of our land, nmuaw? ”
And who the heck are you kissing ARIS ” father said with his thick voice as I rearranged my madness”
Erm father.. it’s no one.. goodness maria I knew it from the starting that you can not be the snake girl” I said angrily as mother cut in”
And why are you holding hangar like that,what offense has he committed ” mother asked”
“I know fully well that she doesn’t joke with hangar, because whenever she wants to hear about my brother,she calls him”
Mother, hangar here has been keeping a secret from us for all this years, hangar tell everyone what you said inside..I mean nowww” I said angrily”
My king,my queen.. please forgive me..I was just trying to do the right thing ” he said as I pushed him hard to land on the ground”
Was that what I asked you to say huh? Tell them what you told me about my brother ” I said angrily”
My king,my queen..the truth is that,the prince we all think is dead is still alive ” he said as everyone was shocked”
” I saw the shocks in mum and dads eyes as mother rushed to hangar immediately saying”
Hangar,do you know what you’re saying? Don’t allow the gods to strike you dead” mother said”
I’m right my queen,on that day after you all left,I hid under the bushes as supposed,so a lady came and took the prince away with her…the prince is not dead, he’s still alive… he’s here in the palace ” hangar said as father threw his staff on the ground coming to hangar in tears ”
” For the first time I saw father crying ”
Hangar, where is my son.. where is he in the congregation” father asked in tears as mother began to look around in tears ”
” I couldn’t hold back my tears,this is so shocking..for years now we’ve been thinking my brother was dead but he’s still alive…who knows if he’s been living a good life ,who knows how he’s fairing and if he eats good food ”
Show me my brother now” I said to hangar ”
He was just here with that lady” he said pointing at a lady sitting in front ”
? MASTER MEDRO ?
In fear I threw the python on the ground and stood far away….the python raised it head coming to me .
SHARIA, sharia I know you’re in there.. please don’t harm me, it’s me Medro.. please Sharia I’ll help you out of this” I said in fear ”
The python started twisting itself together as I walked closer to it ..
What should I do now,I can’t leave her here…I need to take her back to her home..
No way,that house is not safe for her…
Who should I take her to…
Where should I take her to..
I’m so confused right now, even if I get where to take her to how can I carry the python.. it’ll definitely kill me…
Oh yes..I think I should take her back to the prince in the palace…
“I walked closer to her saying”
Sharia..I want to help you.. please let me take you to the prince..I don’t know where else to take you to, there are many medicine men in the palace they can help you out ” I said moving closer and closer to her”
I got to the python and touched it…but it didn’t harm me…
Thank you Sharia ” I said carrying the python in my arms and placed it on the horse,I climbed the horse and rod out with her.
? MINUTES LATER ?
We arrived at the palace and immediately everyone saw us …they began to give way…some were scared because I was crying a very big python…
The seer rushed forward setting his eyes on the python,he opened his mouth wide in Shocks and said aloud…
This is the snake girl ” he said pointing at Sharia who was still in the snake form”
” I was shocked and surprised at the same time,so Sharia has been the snake girl all this while,oh no..this means she belongs to the prince”
No one could know who she was, even the prince did not know.
My king,my queen..this is Sharia..the maid who works in the prince’s banquet ” I said bowing as my mum was looking at me in tears”
What!! This is Sharia.. you’re lying ” the prince said surprisingly when suddenly the snake shell that was on the burning fire vanished and appeared on the python’s body,then suddenly….. the python transformed back to Sharia…
Everyone was shocked to see that,i was also shocked… but I also descoverd something else was happening so I went to mum.
SHARIA..my dear.. it’s really you.. you’re the snake girl” the prince said surprisingly as sharia rose up with anger in her eyes saying ”
?Now I know who I am..the time has come for destiny to take place” Sharia said with her eyes turning red as Maria screamed in tears?”
Nooooo??you can’t be the snake girllll” she cried out when suddenly we heard a guard who was held by the prince pointing at me saying”
My king, that boy over there is your son..he is the other prince I was talking about “the boy said pointing at me as I was shocked”
What did you just say?? Master Medro is my brother.” The prince asked surprisingly as the queen and king were looking dumfounded”
My master is my brother? But how” Shantel asked surprised as my whole body began to shake,I turned to mother who was already in tears ”
Mum, what’s going on,what are they saying?” I asked ”
Son..I didn’t know…I didn’t know the law in the kingdom,I was new …?” Mum said in tears”
Oh no, it’s true ” I said with my mouth open”
There was a one minute silent in the palace…. everything was confusing…
SHARIA was still standing acting as if she was waiting for someone to battle with…
Suddenly we saw the cloud changing…a great wind occuring as the sun disappeared.. darkness covered everywhere as everyone began to run Helter skelter…
The demon king has arrivedddddd” the seer said aloud as all the soldiers brought out their swords”
The prince rushed to sharia saying..
SHARIA please go in with my mum and dad,I can handle this” the prince said as I went forward and said”
Yes Sharia the prince is right.. please go inside with the king and queen ” I added as she turned to us with her red eyes saying”
This battle is for me..” she said when suddenly she began to creat a cage with her eyes ….”
” She brought forth the cage and covered on us..she locked it up with her powers as we saw the demon king appearing”
??? Hahaha…I am back to take the throne ” he said aloud as Sharia blocked his way”
You will have to face me first” Sharia said transforming into a python ”
